Director: Dr. S. Jamshidi
Reservoir characterization and modeling is an important research area for development and management of hydrocarbon reservoirs. In this field of study, new technologies in hydrocarbon reservoir exploration and appraisal (using seismic, petrophysics, geology, etc.) can be used.Then by using these data the static reservoir model is built. This model is used in flow simulation, reservoir performance evaluation, new well placement selection, estimation of oil in place, selection of optimized method for reservoir management and history matching.
Director: Dr. M. Masihi
One of the major areas of research in oil industry is to improve the oil production and studying the EOR methods. Sufficient knowledge of reservoir production mechanisms, the conditions of the reservoir fluid and rock properties can lead to better designing of enhanced oil recovery processes. Moreover, researches in reservoir evaluation methods, reservoir modeling and simulation and well stimulation (such as acidizing, hydraulic fracturing, formation damage removal and other efficient methods) are very important.
Director: Dr. M. Manzari
As the economic measures depend on the oil production, development of oil industry is important which depends on new science and technologies that can be very helpful in cost reduction and efficiency improvement. New methods in drilling and well completion as well as use of smart wells and e-fields lead to easier production and enhancement in oil recovery which needs the use of previous experience and new technologies.
Director: Dr. A. Pak
Formation evaluation and reservoir exploration need various data from drilling of exploration wells and geological study as well as geophysics studies. One of the main area is the geophysical technologies which has been developed during last two decade significantly to monitor and manage the drilling and production activities.
